(Mu) Few strong elements, the perfect location (round unpaved roads with the city in tha brackground) and a man not looking for suicide but for a helping hand, the right ellypses and intensities...

View all Taste of Cherry (1997) reviews

Middle-aged Mr. Badii is planning to commit suicide and desperately seeks anyone to assist him - he has already dug out the grave in the mountains, but the assistant will have to bury him when he will do the deed. He asks Kurd soldier, Afghan seminarian, but everyone refuses by some reason. Finally he finds an old Turkish taxidermist, who has a sick son and previously attempted suicide himself, and he agrees to assist Badii.

"21.1 Kiarostami/Iran Mies kiertelee autolla aavikkoa ja yrittää saada jotakuta auttamaan häntä itsemurhassaan. Ensimmäinen kokelas on nuorukainen, armeijan monni, joka sulkeutuu asian tullessa puheeksi ja lopulta karkaa autosta. Toiseksi kyytiin sattuu hieman vanhempi pappiseminaarilainen, joka kykenee jo jonkinlaisiin vasta-argumentteihin, mutta jotka nekin ovat vain ulkoaopeteltujen moraalikäskyjen resitointia, ei omia ajatuksia. Lopulta kolmas kandidaatti on vanha, elämää kokenut mi"

"13.5. Kiarostami rakastaa autokeskusteluja, ja niitä Kirsikan maussa löytyy. Keskustelustrategiat muuntuvat erilaisten ihmisten kohtaamisissa, kun Badii koittaa löytää itselleen apumiestä äärimmäisen kiellettyihin toimiin. Haastavia aiheita ja teemoja yhtä kaikki. Ihastuttavan hieno elokuva tässäkin."
